Mixed Grammar: Make Someone Feel, Subject To and As or Like Exercise

February 12, 2024 A2pdf

Fill in the blanks.

Progress 0 of 12 answered
1The studious girl ............... to parties.
Wrong!
The adverb of frequency comes before the main verb, so "rarely goes" is correct.
2He made an earnest effort to make us ............... welcome.
Wrong!
After "make" plus an object, we use the bare infinitive "feel".
3She got married and never ............... her studies.
Wrong!
The past simple verb "finished" matches the past event "got married".
4It is barbaric ............... animals for decorative purposes.
Wrong!
After an adjective in this pattern, the infinitive "to stuff" is correct.
5Nothing ............... a student's enthusiasm more than a dull teacher.
Wrong!
For a general truth with a singular subject, use "cripples".
6She tripped ............... a stool in the dark room.
Wrong!
Use "over" in "trip over something", meaning to hit your foot against it and lose your balance.
7The blow ............... his head stunned him for a few moments.
Wrong!
The usual phrase is "a blow to the head," so "to" is correct.
8He handled the ............... situation with style.
Wrong!
An adjective is needed before the noun, so "awkward" is correct.
9We are subject ............... the laws of the country.
Wrong!
The fixed adjective pattern is "subject to," so "to" is correct.
10He treated his subordinates ............... slaves.
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both "as" and "like" can naturally complete this sentence.
11We were suspicious ............... the deal was made in private.
Wrong!
The conjunction "because" introduces the reason for the suspicion.
12In general, as the land subsides, the sea ............... inland.
Wrong!
For a general process, the simple present verb "advances" is correct.
